The United States National Security Agency (NSA) has released a list of the top 25 coding errors that have landed coders and webmasters into hot water.

The SANS institute located in Maryland reported that "1.5 million websites were breached" because of two types of coding errors that are on the list. These errors are so malicious and commonly made that the NSA, the Department of Homeland Security, Microsoft, Symantec and many more published a list, a first of its kind, to help out developers as they are coding.

The list is hoped to help those coders and upcoming coders from making the mistakes that veteran coders learned the hard way. With more awareness of common, but serious, coding errors everyone will benefit from the knowledge and consumer's data will remain safe.
